Are people who care about the Palestinian people's plight anti-semitic?

[Emperor Dubya]

I think part of the reason these people might feel this way is because when you look at the fundamentals, Israel was a really really stupid idea. The premise that one group has a right to some land because their ancestors lived there 2000 years ago is quite laughable. That's why I've always considered Zionism as absurd as the drivel written by Ayn Rand and about equal in what value it brings to public discourse.

And it doesn't help that Israel was founded by some pretty disgusting people, can anyone explain what makes the Irgun and Lehi in any way better than Hamas?

At least the Israeli's made something out of the country, as opposed to turning it into another middle-eastern s**tbox a la Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran.

True, except right antisemitism isn't accepted in normal political discourse.  Left antisemitism is easily hidden behind a facade of "caring" about the Palestinians.  It's fairly obvious in people that ONLY care about the Palestinians and don't give two sh**ts for peoples in much worse shape than the Palestinians.  Or happily chose to side with Iran in the Iran V Israel issue.

I see the Palestinian people as equals of Israeli people. Not sure if that makes me anti-semitic.

As for the Iran V Israel issue...doesn't Israel have nuclear weapons?

Yes but I somehow trust Israel more with nuclear bombs than I do Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

If you think Iran will actually use them, than you are beyond naive. The Iranians are not as stupid as your anti Muslim stereotypes would think. But you are a new, blue avatar poster, with the name Emperor Dubya...go away Rhodie.

Huh, Rhodie? Anyway, you are the naive one, in believing that Iran operates in the normal parameters of international diplomacy. This is not the Soviet Union, this is a religious theocracy, who might well use the bomb against Israel.
